TWISTS AND TURNS OF LIFE. - LES MEANDRES ET TOURS DE VIE
I believe that the reason many people quit pursuing something they might have been passionate about is that they believe life is predicable. Just a few kilometers into the journey and they begin to see twists and turns they didn't imagine were possible in life. In our African societies where there is so much superstition, people begin to blame external forces rather than trying to figure out what to do in order to properly navigate these unpredictable twists and turns. The effort we put into trying to know who or what is responsible for our "misfortune" could be channeled to researching strategies for obtaining the desired results. Innovation is born out of finding ways to to beat life at its game. There will be times in life when nothing makes sense. You have done all you know to do but you are not getting the desired results. I always tell people that life is not 1+2=3, life is not black and white. Life happens, but in what you see as chaos or stagnation, life is working and you have to try and understand how that fits into your program. You cannot fit life into your own schedule and strategy, you have to work with what life presents to you. For those who understand this principle, unexpected happenings can actually give you results far beyond your expectations. Do have a great week!

MAYBE YOU CAN - PEUT-ÊTRE TU LE PEUX
Why is always easier for people to believe that they cannot do something than it is for them to believe that they can? It almost as if the default response of many when they are confronted with life is to say that they can't. What I noticed is that those who dare are those who have something to fight for. When you meet people like that, their first response is that they can overcome even before they understand the full extent of the task. People call them daredevils not because they are special breed in the general sense but because they are too focused on what they want to achieve that it blinds them to anything that tries to stop them. Many of such people look back when they reach their goal and wonder what came over them that made them take kind of risk-filled route. If you look closely at anyone who always says "I can't", you will notice that what they are trying to do is convince themselves that they are not failing. Except it is a strong moral conviction not to do wrong, every other "I can't" is an admission to failure. Since people do not admit that they have failed or are failing, they would rather put up a defense to convince themselves and everyone else that the task is impossible. This happens often because people do not have any goal in view, so they throw in the towel quickly to avoid being seen as failures. Those who have a concrete goal would do what others consider crazy, spend as much time as it takes and bear whatever humiliation that comes with many failed attempts to get the job done. They refuse to bow to the prevailing "I can't" attitude. You are the only one who can decide whether it can be done or not because life will help you achieve whichever ever you decide. If you don't have a concrete goal, any other goal will be erased by the tides of life. Is your vision carved in stone or written in sand? Do have a beautiful day!

"Vous devez vouloir tellement quelque chose et le sentir dans chaque fibre de votre corps que cela vous convient". - Gloria J. Schramm
Parfois, j'aime bien partager certains commentaires sur mes messages afin que d'autres opinions puissent contribuer à éclairer davantage le sujet. Quiconque veut comprendre complètement le processus avant de se lancer pour poursuivre la vision qu'il a en tête ne le fera jamais. La peur de l'inconnu en a retenu beaucoup, surtout dans les sociétés où règnent de nombreuses croyances superstitieuses. Si vous attendez que les autres indiquent toujours le chemin, vous ne quitterez jamais la zone médiocre. Ceux qui ont accompli de grandes choses qui dépassent leur imagination la plus folle sont ceux qui n'avaient pas peur d'entrer dans le noir parce qu'ils croyaient en leur vision si mal qu'ils sentaient en chaque fibre de leur corps que c'était juste pour eux. Vous êtes le seul à pouvoir allumer le commutateur à l'intérieur, l'image est déjà là. Il suffit d’un peu de lumière pour le voir clairement et cela vient de la concentration mentale sur la connaissance et l’information adéquate. Tout que la motivation des autres vous aidera à faire est de réaliser que le pouvoir de le faire est entre vos mains. Arrête d'attendre la vie, elle t'attend. Passez un bon week-end!
